Describe the Feature you'd like

I need to process the text in the context of the button, e.g. the markdown section below the button. For that I need to know the buttons line or offset. The editors cursor might be somewhere else.

Alternatives

At least get the ID of the button. But would be off much less help because duplicating section with related buttons would lead to non-distinguishable IDs.

Additional Context

Getting line numbers and positions of inline elements is not possible in reading mode, which is a limitation of the Obsidian API.

Is it possible to get the rendered output, i.e. the contents of preview/reading mode? This would help with another issue.

what exactly do you mean by output? The HTML element of the button? You should never modify that.

[ujikol]

I did not want to modify the rendered html. I want to parse it, actually not the button but the context (section below it).

Maybe my question was misleading. With inline I ment inline of the button definition, not in markdown inline code.

The issue is that your plugin provides notePosition to e.g. runReplaceSelfAction but not to runInlineJsAction. In that inline Js code I would need to position.

In the next version of the plugin you can access some extra information about the button including its location (if known) via context.buttonContext

[ujikol]

Great, thanks. Any planned release date?

No. When it's ready. A canary release will come tomorrow, if you can't wait.
